ADVANCE IN THE PRICE OF SILK.

THE sHwrNG-sIIK AND MACnINE-rwIsr TRADE
ORDER AN INCREASE OF 10 PER CENT.
Whether by caprice In fashion by mere chance,
there has been for months decided increase In the
amount OF silk manufactured both In this country
and in Europe. In Europe statistics for the last year
show that consumption Of silk exceeds by 40 per
that Of any other year since 1875 This demand
based the needs Of manufacturers and does not seem
to be speculative To all appearances 1t represents
normal growth in the silk trade and will be permanent
In America no silk is produced, the raw
material being imported from Europe and Asia
in about these proportions: Half from Japan, q
fourth from China and fourth from Italy and France
The amount imported and used here during 1885 was
10000 bales or 4750,00O pounds, and Its gross
value 500. O0O, 000 The increase In manufactured
silk goods has been less striking here Of course than In
Europe, but the supply Of raw material has grown as
short IL not shorter There stimulus TO the cutva
ton Of silk worms here The Of transportation from
Yokohama New York is but eight cents pound less
American labor cannot compete at all with Japanese
